Description:
Radishes are one of the easiest and fastest plants to grow. Radish plants come in 2 varieties; spring radishes and winter radishes(this auction is spring radishes seeds). Spring radishes are harvested in the spring. Spring radishes are fast growers and they come in red, white, pink, and black. Spring radishes can be round, oval, or cylindrical. Spring radishes have a more subtle flavor than their winter counterparts. Winter radishes take a longer time to grow and are divided in to 4 groups. Daikon radishes are like white carrots. Chinese or lo bok radishes are white and long. Spanish radishes are tart with black skins and white flesh. German Beer Radishes look like turnips.

Growing Tips:
Radishes prefer full sun. Spring radishes prefer cool, rich soil so sow these seeds in an area that will have cool soil for four or more weeks. Let some radishes flower as their pink, white, and yellow blooms are very lovely and make a delightful addition to your vegetable garden. The whole radish plant is edible. The young leaves can be steamed or stir-fried and the flowers can be added to a salad. Keep an eye out for root maggots on your winter radishes. These yellow maggots, about 12 inch long will burrow into the winter radishes. To prevent these pests add wood ash when planting winter radish seeds.
